No this is not padalka

Damn sorry for late reply! Exams really drain me indeed. Thennnnnn i have some noice mission patches to show 🫪 my favs

- ASTP (Apollo-soyuz) mission patch

If i had a book, containing the fuel of my soul i would write "Apollo-soyuz mission patch". It's just beautiful, the apollo and soyuz capsules... and the sun!

Eh, i just realize today is the day where this mission starts! >:] consider this as little commemorative post about Soyuz-Apollo.

- Soyuz TM-11 mission patch

This one is more into aesthetic sides lolol i just love the colour and the details of the atmosphere and MIR! Gosh...

Funfact, this Is the first commercial space mission. So the Japanese television company TBS pay for a seat for their citizen, a middle aged journalist (and an avid smoker 🚬☝️) Toyohiro Akiyama, to fly to MIR station in Soyuz TM-11 mission, making him becoming the first Japanese citizen in space.

- Artemis II

ALRIGHTTT ALRIGHT now who doesn't love this mission patch honestly...not me>:)) and i think most of you guys already know this...

????????????

Space movies? Dude...

...Call me outdated idc but i LOOOVE Время первых (or in eng version, the spacewalker). Simply, it's about the Voskhod-2 mission (the first spacewalk into open space)...just look for it,

I also like Salyut-7, inspired by the story of dead state of the salyut-7 space station and the reason of the soyuz t-13 mission. On the film the name of the characters are changed slightly because...the stories is kinda altered (even one of the crew mission, cosmonaut Viktor Savinykh gets annoyed bc of those changes ahahah)...

Nonetheless, i really recommended to add those to your watchlists.

Hiihihihehehehhh i want to try comparing how i draw Gagarin from the first time i find out about him till now...

2015: Damn how cri- I KNOW he look like dat male leader anime character ass ahh haircut 😭 i don't know how to draw his hair at that time...

2016...It looks much better now. I think. Not consistent but hey 😂😂 at this time i begin to draw him more often...(brainrot phase)...

The end of 2017-2018! I quite satisfied by these changes *victoryyyy* 🦵😼 but still, not consistent enough lul

Then in 2019 and covid times im began to rarely drawing him, because of my growing hyperfixation to the other cosmonauts and astronauts, and mental issues, unsure, "am i being able to draw him again like i used to?..."

But then in april 2025 i tried it again (not remembering how unsure i am), and on april this year,

Well, i quite proud about these changes.

What got me into space? Hahah, i already making a post related to this before but let's make it short...

...One time, when i was in elementary school (11-12 yo) i saw a space encyclopedia book on my school library. I decided to bring it to my home, and read it. That book tells me briefly about Yuri Gagarin, Valentina Tereshkova and Neil Armstrong (i remember that they mentioned Soyuz-Apollo mission too) and, especially Gagarin...he's the one responsible pulling me into this space fandom hell! Haha!

Space hot take? I have one lingering on my throat.

The «no woman crew in Artemis III» discourse is immature. Guys. Calm down. We're not gonna land on the moon yet. No woman crew it DOESN'T mean they're incompetent or NASA being sexist.

We know we need representatives too but we have more aspects to focus too. Guys. The moon mission. Of course they're gonna choose the one who's capable and experienced more for the mission.

Crew banter? Ohho!

There's one video that was famous some time ago, focused on Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka (*cough* aka my dad *coughhh*) swearing in soyuz,

...when Padalka says enough is enough from his cosmonaut career...the way Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko react about it is just depressingly funny i JUST CANT-

-> he refers to his cosmonaut career, he's basically wants to retire after the Soyuz TMA-16M (the flight on this footage)

-> Kornienko be like "lmfao u edgy mofo let's see if you flies your ass again you owe me vvvodkaa😼" lol
